I agree with your comment, and just want to add that interest rate changes alone can explain a lot of the appreciation. If you have the exact same income and rates are at today's 3% vs 2008's 6%, the payments on a $1.0MM home mortgage would be $4.2K vs $6.0k. The difference between those two payments is about $40k/year of gross income difference. A person in 2021 with the exact same income as 2008 would be paying the same for a $1.4M mortgage per month as the person in 2008 at a $1.0M mortgage. I don't own a home, so I'm not saying this to justify my purchase, but if I just take the info in the graph, I actually wonder whether there is a lot more room to go in the market. I wonder if we are looking at another 20-30% appreciation before the top? I have no idea. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MORTGAGE30US https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MORTGAGE30US
